Federer is still the daddy when it comes to Wimbledon (Tennis)...
Yesterday, I got up at 5:45AM to watch the Wimbledon tennis final (it's been a while since I got up that early on a Sunday morning). The stakes are pretty high for both players - for Murray, it's the home crowd and more importantly, it's close to 75 years since someone from Great Britain has played in a Wimbledon final. For Federer, it will be wimbledon #7, first title after becoming dad, and regaining world #1 (plus beating some sampras records on the way!). There is lot in the line...
Murray started off really well, and Federer had a shaky start - especially, he was making lot of unforced errors on his forehand, which is very rare according to fedex's standards. Then rain came.. and the play resumes after closing the roof.. Federer was virtually unstoppable after they resumed play - played aggressive and killed Murray's second serves and won the third set. Then it's just a matter of time to win the fourth set.
I loved Murray's comments at the presentation ceremony - despite being down, he gave a fantastic speech. "getting closer" was the first two words he spoke and the home crowd just loved his speech.
I'm excited to see my favorite sportsman regain his #1 status. He continues to inspire me not only for his excellence at the sport but also for his integrity and composure when chips are down.
